BEFORE YOU BEGIN Ask yourself this question—is a WikiProject right for what I want to do? A Wikiproject is designed to coordinate the efforts of several users, and to allow a group of conceptually related pages to have similar structures and appearance.

Generally you should have at least 5–10 people involved before a Wikiproject structure makes any sense and adds any value. If you don't think you'll get at least 5–10 people on board, then don't waste your effort—you'll be better off just writing your articles. If you are not sure: If you have a subject you are passionate about, but you aren't certain if anyone else is interested, then write a brief description of your project on your , and a link to it on . If interest is good, feel free to launch the project; otherwise you will probably find it more effective to focus your efforts on the articles themselves.
